Configuring the System 3-31
NEC Product Recovery CD
The NEC Product Recovery program allows you to go back to the original
software shipped on your system. You can reinstall valuable software
with the original hardware settings shipped from the factory. The recovery
kit includes:
!
PowerMate Recovery Boot diskette
!
NEC Product Recovery CD.
Use the Recovery program only in the unlikely
event of file deletion or file corruption. The Recovery program is a very
powerful tool. Some options permanently delete all the data on your hard
drive.
Before using the Recovery program, we recommend that you try to use the
Smart Restore program to reinstall the faulty software or hardware. Smart
Restore lets you reinstall software without deleting any files. See “Using
the Smart Restore Program” later in this document.
Before using the Recovery program, read the following sections carefully.
